Lilliman (82), a resident
of Clipstone Lodge Care
Home, Clipstone, formerly

was cremated at Mansfield
after a service at the
crematorium chapel.
Born at Mansfield Woodhouse
and educated at Mansfield,
Mr Lilliman was a
life-long local resident. Completing

in the Army, he then worked
at various collieries, mainly
Rufford, as a miner, spending

room until he retired due to ill health in 1978.
A talented footballer in his younger days, and then a
very keen fisherman, Mr Lilliman was a member of piscatorials
